After school, Lu Yan ran to Lu Zhen's class with her schoolbag on her back and handed two hundred brand-new bills into his hand: "Take it and pay back all the money you owe!"

"Where did the money come from?"

Lu Zhen knew that all the pocket money Lu Yan had saved in the past was used to pay back the owner of the house that was burned down. Now her pockets were tight, so there was no money left for him.

Lu Zhen looked at the bicycle lane and saw Lu Yan's car. He asked solemnly: "Did you sell the car I gave you?"

"Our home is quite close to the school." Lu Yan glanced at him guiltily: "I don't think it's necessary to ride a bike."

Lu Zhen didn't know where the evil fire came from, so he stuffed the money into Lu Yan's arms, turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he turned back angrily and grabbed the few bills.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Who did you sell the car to?" He said solemnly: "Buy it back!"

"I can't buy it back. The store said it has changed hands."

Lu Zhen turned around and kicked the tree trunk, and said angrily: "Who asked you to make your own decisions! I'm not so depressed that I want you, a little girl, to sell me a car and pay me back!"

Lu Yan blinked her eyes, her eyes were red, wet and aggrieved.

Liang Ting couldn't stand it any longer, so he came over and pulled Lu Yan behind him, blaming Lu Zhen and saying, "Whatever you did to the little girl, she was doing it to help you."

"You, like Shu Mengfei, think of me as a good-for-nothing loser, don't you?"

"No, I didn't."

Even though everyone said that Lu Zhen was a good-for-nothing young man who was raised useless, Lu Yan had never thought of it this way.

She has witnessed the difficulties of her father's entrepreneurial days, and she knows better than anyone how far this man can push himself if he is ruthless.

Liang Ting came over and pulled Lu Zhen: "Even if you are broken up in love, you shouldn't take it out on your sister."

"He's always like this." Lu Yan gasped, her eyes turning red, and said in a low voice, "He's always like this, leaving the worst side to those closest to him."

If Lu Zhen's bad temper hadn't chilled his grandfather's heart, no matter how Shi Xuexian tried to trick him, he wouldn't have separated the father and son and stopped communicating with each other.

Grandpa has only one son.

Lu Zhen calmed down. Seeing the little girl's aggrieved look, his heart suddenly softened and he lost all his temper.

He looked at the crumpled two hundred yuan in his hand, feeling distressed and anxious.

Who asked her to sell bicycles to repay him? No matter how desperate he was, he would not let this little girl sell iron to raise money for him.

"Just sold it for two hundred yuan?"

Lu Zhen patted Lu Yan on the head angrily: "I bought that car for one thousand, and you sell it for two hundred. It's too wasteful."

"Woo..."

Although he disliked her, he accepted the two hundred yuan anyway and put his arm around her shoulders carelessly: "A lot of them have gone out. What a waste."

"It's not because I'm in a hurry."

"When I get rich in the future, I will have to buy you a new one."

Lu Yan leaned next to him and leaned on his arm affectionately: "Dad, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't give up. Even if no one understands you, Yan Yan will always be by your side."

When Lu Yan encountered difficulties when she was growing up and couldn't hold on, Lu Zhen said this to her -

Don't give up, even if the whole world doesn't like you, dad will always be by your side.

Lu Zhen moved his arm away and said in disgust: "It's too numb."

Lu Yan smiled and walked over to him, took his hand and put it on her shoulders. Lu Zhen pulled her up and grew up. She is both father and mother, so Lu Yan has been clinging to him since she was a child.

Liang Ting smiled and said to Lu Zhen: "Shen Kuo can make money, so can we, and we can make more than him!"

Lu Zhen looked at the sunset in the distance, and suddenly he stood up, pumped his fist and shouted, "I want to earn one million!"

Qin Hao was also infected by him and shouted with him into the sunset: "Earn 10 million!"

"I want to hug you from left to right! Let Shu Mengfei cry!"

"I want ten wives!"

Lu Yan and Liang Ting looked at each other, feeling the strange looks from the people around them, feeling so embarrassed!

Lu Yan knew that her father had made a lot of mistakes when he was young and frivolous, and he was a complete and utter chubby boy.

In the past, Lu Yan could only imagine it through the oral narrations of her uncles, but now that she can experience it herself, Lu Yan finds it quite interesting.

That night, Lu Yan came home from school and saw a pink bicycle parked under the drooping green radish branches at her door.

She walked forward quickly and found that the car was exactly the same as the one she had sold before!

Lu Yan looked around curiously. There was no one else around except the neighborhood.

Oh my god! Why is it... coming back again?

Lu Yan quickly got on her bicycle and drove around on the grass a few times to confirm that it was the one she sold. She treasured this bicycle very much, and it was a pleasant surprise to find it again after it was lost.

She simply rode her bike directly to the car dealership and asked the shop owner what was going on.

The shop owner was very familiar with this car and said, "A handsome young man bought this car before. How come it's in your hands again?"

"Who bought it?"

"I'm only responsible for selling cars. How can I know who the buyer is? He looks as old as you."

"As old as me."

Lu Yan pushed the car home, feeling very confused.

It couldn't be Lu Zhen. Lu Zhen was so poor that he was eating free soup and rice in the cafeteria during this period. He himself had no money to redeem his car.

The tall young man stood at the door of the grocery store, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, looking at Lu Yan's petite back from a distance.

Shen Kuo is definitely not some kind of Lei Feng who does good deeds anonymously, on the contrary... he is worldly and tactful, and when he does something, he will definitely let others know about it and make others appreciate him.

In this world, the road for the poor is very narrow. If he wants to widen the road, he must accumulate connections and favors.

But this time it's different.

Thinking back to the beginning of school, there was a math tutoring exercise book on his desk for no reason. It was the same book he had been copying questions from in the bookstore, but he was still reluctant to buy it.

Lu Yan bought it for him and secretly placed it on his table.

Shen Kuo didn't understand why Lu Yan did this. Maybe...it was just that the rich lady was overflowing with sympathy, just like feeding a stray dog ​​on the road. She might even have forgotten that she had helped him.

Shen Kuo also knew that he shouldn't think too much, shouldn't be happy beyond his own control, and he shouldn't think that there might be girls in this world who care about him or even... like him.

Shen Kuo never owed anyone anything, so this time he just... repaid her for her unintentional kindness.

He put out the cigarette butt on the tree trunk and turned around to leave.

That afternoon, Lu Yan ran to the door of Lu Zhen's class excitedly with a leaflet in hand, she had important news to tell him.

Unexpectedly, she just passed the corner of the stairs and bumped into a man.

The man's chest was very hard, and the muscles were so hard that it hurt Lu Yan's forehead.

She covered her forehead, raised her head dizzily, and met Shen Kuo's narrow, dark brown eyes.

When he is not smiling, his facial features have a certain cold temperament, which always gives people the feeling that strangers should not approach him.

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts!"

When she saw Shen Kuo, Lu Yan immediately entered the movie queen state, covering her head and shouting: "It hurts!"

Shen Kuo seemed to have just finished physical education class, and the bangs on his forehead were slightly damp. Lu Yan could feel the male heat radiating from his body, constantly invading her senses.

"I didn't hit you. I jumped on you myself. Why are you pretending?" Shen Kuo exposed her mercilessly.

Lu Yan stopped pretending, lowered her head and smiled.

Anyway, in front of Shen Kuo, she had to "touch porcelain" a lot, rely on him, and rely on him to be able to be more powerful and noble in the future.

Shen Kuo couldn't understand what bad intentions this girl had, so he asked casually: "Why are you running away?"

"Look for my brother. I have important news to report to him." Lu Yan raised the promotional paper in her hand and raised her eyebrows at Shen Kuo and smiled.

An undercurrent rose in Shen Kuo's eyes, and the tips of his slender fingers suddenly touched her lips. Lu Yan immediately seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, not daring to move. She was on guard and nervous.

His eyes were calm and gentle, and he gently wiped away a broken cookie stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Lu Yan could even feel his rough fingertips grazing her lips, and a tingling electric current ran through her heart.

Looking back on those days, the forty-year-old Shen Kuo rarely looked at her with such soft and fiery eyes. He seemed to always stand in the shadow where the sun could not reach, watching her calmly and indifferently.

When Shen Kuo was a boy, he was less worldly and arrogant, but more enthusiastic.

"Well..."

Lu Yan stepped back, slightly defensive.

"He's in the playground, maybe he's not in a good mood."

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Yan instinctively felt that Shen Kuo might be messing with him again. Every time he said something frivolous, it would drive Lu Zhen into a rage.

Shen Kuo smiled lightly and did not respond. He loosened the collar button of his shirt, vaguely revealing a section of his white collarbone.

Lu Yan said softly: "Don't bully him."

He raised his eyebrows and said, "What if you insist on it?"

"If you insist on bullying Lu Zhen, I will also give you a good look!"

Lu Yan gestured at him with her fist, but her small fist was white with powder and was not threatening at all.

The smile in the corner of Shen Kuo's eyes became even wider, and he protracted his tone and said word by word: "Oh, let me look good."

Lu Yan realized that she was a little stupid, so she quickly retracted her fist and said softly: "Only, as long as you let him go, I will repay you."

Shen Kuo discovered that this little girl was really afraid of him.

He realized that he didn't seem to have done anything particularly terrible to Lu Zhen. Even if he did, it wouldn't be now.

He lowered his head and came closer to her, his thin lips fell on her ear, and his voice was low: "How do you want to repay me?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it later!"

Lu Yan staggered away from him and ran down the stairs to avoid letting him see her burning face.

Shen Kuo turned around, stared at the little girl's thin back, and pursed his lips slightly.

Most of the time, his smile is not genuine.

At least, he was really happy facing her.

…

Lu Yan found three dejected teenagers by the playground.

Lu Zhen, wearing a red basketball uniform, threw the basketball out unhappily. The basketball rolled a few times and landed at Lu Yan's feet, where she stepped on it.

At first glance, these guys looked like they had been beaten by a master.

"I don't want to play basketball anymore, and I won't do it for the rest of my life."

"Brother Lu, don't give up. Although we can't beat him in basketball, our grades are not as good as his, and we can't beat him in a fight..."

Lu Zhen said angrily: "That means you are not as good as him in everything, right?"

Qin Hao quickly changed his mind: "But we will become the big boss in the future! Crush him in all directions!"

Lu Zhen rubbed his nose and said reluctantly: "When I become the big boss, I will look good with him."

Lu Yan actually wanted to say, in fact, when you become the big boss one day, Shen Kuo will still kill you with just one finger, just as easily as killing an ant.

Lu Zhen tilted his head and asked Lu Yan: "What are you doing here?"

"Oh!" Lu Yan quickly took out the crumpled promotional paper in her hand: "Rookie Cup Campus Talent Contest!"

Lu Zhen took the promotional paper and looked at it casually: "What the hell."

"It's just a singing and dancing talent competition. I heard that the school holds it every year, and there's a 1,000 yuan prize!"

"You want to sing?"

"Yes!" Lu Yan looked at him expectantly: "I will definitely win the prize. By then, all the money we owe will be repaid, and grandpa will be happy."

Lu Zhen and Liang Ting looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"What are you doing!" Lu Yan frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Zhen patted Lu Yan on the shoulder: "Daughter, when you were in junior high school, you went on stage to sing Grasshopper's "Broken Love Front Alliance". Have you forgotten how tragic the car accident scene was?"

Lu Yan:......

She's not a little aunt, so she won't be out of tune! She's a woman who almost debuted as a C-level actress! So many agencies were vying to sign her.

"Humph, don't look down on me!"

Liang Ting also said: "It's not that Lu Zhen looks down on you. From junior high school to now, Lu Zhen's ex-girlfriend Shu Mengfei has participated in every session of this competition and has won the championship twice in a row. This year, he is ambitious to win three consecutive championships. What do you think?

Getting her down is a daydream..."

"You say that, then I must participate." Lu Yan said confidently: "I will take her down this year, make her three consecutive championships fail, and avenge my father!"
Chapter completed!
